A new genus, <jats:italic>Nilssondytes<\/jats:italic><jats:bold>gen. nov.<\/jats:bold> is described for a unique new species, <jats:italic>Nilssondytes diversus<\/jats:italic><jats:bold>sp. nov.<\/jats:bold> from Venezuela. The New World genus, <jats:italic>Megadytes<\/jats:italic> Sharp, 1882, with several subgenera, was found to not be monophyletic. The type species of <jats:italic>Megadytes<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Dytiscus latus<\/jats:italic> Fabricius, 1801 and the species <jats:italic>Cybister parvus<\/jats:italic> Tr\u00e9mouilles, 1984 were found to be monophyletic together, and phylogenetically more closely related to <jats:italic>Cybister<\/jats:italic> Curtis, 1827 than to other species assigned to <jats:italic>Megadytes<\/jats:italic> sensu stricto, which were found to also be monophyletic. The name <jats:italic>Megadytes<\/jats:italic> is here restricted to include only <jats:italic>Megadytes latus<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Megadytes parvus<\/jats:italic>. These two species assigned to this newly restricted genus concept are reviewed and diagnosed. A new genus, <jats:italic>Metaxydytes<\/jats:italic><jats:bold>gen. nov.<\/jats:bold>, is erected to include all the other species currently assigned to Megadytes sensu stricto. The current subgenus names assigned to Megadytes, <jats:italic>Bifurcitus<\/jats:italic> Brinck, 1945, <jats:italic>Paramegadytes<\/jats:italic> Tr\u00e9mouilles &amp; Bachmann, 1980, and <jats:italic>Trifurcitus<\/jats:italic> Brinck, 1945, are elevated to genus rank since they are variously paraphyletic. The two species assigned to Cybister (Neocybister) Miller, Bergsten &amp; Whiting, 2007, Cybister (Neocybister) festae Griffini, 1895, and Cybister (Neocybister) puncticollis (Brull\u00e9, 1837) re reviewed and diagnosed with the former redescribed and its type specimens considered for the first time since its description. Another evidently new species and possible new genus, <jats:italic>Megadytes<\/jats:italic> species, IR57 (Ribera et al. 2008), from Peru, is also characterized, but not formally treated because of lack of important data for the single, partial specimen. Diagnostic features are illustrated for the entire group.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3897\/zookeys.1188.110081","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,3]],"date-time":"2024-04-03T06:38:55Z","timestamp":1712126335000},"page":"125-168","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["\ufeffReclassification of Cybistrinae Sharp, 1880 in the Neotropical Region (Coleoptera, Adephaga, Dytiscidae), with description of new taxa"],"prefix":"10.3897","volume":"1188","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-1093-4066","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Kelly B.","family":"Miller","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1962-7976","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mariano C.","family":"Michat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5932-7695","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Nelson","family":"Ferreira Jr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2258","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"110081_B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.11646\/zootaxa.3087.1.1"},{"key":"110081_B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.11646\/zootaxa.5061.2.5"},{"key":"110081_B3","author":"Bertrand","year":"1928"},{"key":"110081_B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5479\/si.03629236.185.i"},{"key":"110081_B5","first-page":"1","article-title":"Die Entwicklung des Dytiscus marginalis L. vom Ei bis zur Imago: 2.Tl.: die Metamorphose (der Habitus der Larve).","volume":"117","author":"Blunck","year":"1917","journal-title":"Zeitschrift f\u00fcr Wissenschaftliche Zoologie"},{"key":"110081_B6","first-page":"1","article-title":"Nomenklatorische und systematische Studien \u00fcber Dytisciden, III.
